Checked behind the dash? Could also be coming in from the boot and the water moved downwards when car was on a tilt.

Check the condition of the door seals if they are the originals.

If you have a sunroof, it's also worth pulling up the rear seat base - if it's damp underneath, you may have a problem with rot or a block in the sunroof drain tubes (I think there's been a few previous threads with details on this).
